I wake up around 5:20 every morning whether I like it or not. I've always been an early riser. I can't help it. It's who I am. I do not bound out of bed the moment my eyes open.
This is an older car. It takes a little time to warm up.
Once my eyes are defogged and my mind is clear, I get to work. I usually post a thought for the day on my Instagram and my business Instagram before too long, I don't just post a random thought, I try to make this thought my guiding principle for the day. I look for an opportunity to share the thought, aside from posting it online. I put it into practice. I lead by example.
One of the advantages of starting my day this way is that I immediately point my thoughts in a useful, productive direction. If I started my day reading news, hearing about death and war and other joyless crap, my day would be miserable.
I speak from experience.
My name is Adolfo and I'm a bad-news-oholic. It's been seven years since my last news binge.
Start your day with a positive, constructive thought. Do it every day until it becomes habit.
Let me know how it goes.
